Added nobrowse to the auto.master, seems to be working. Will check with RHEL4 clients. Wayne

I seem to remember that was also the case with v4 if you wanted selective browseable maps. The default installed configuration makes autofs managed mounts not browsable when no option is given in the master map, as it is the case in v4. The options browse and nobrowse are used in other industry autofs products and they are the recommended options to use, although the --ghost option can be used in instead of the browse option.
